Half Sovereign 1821 Marsh 403 the obverse with some hairlines and some light rub to the portrait, and a scratch before BRITANNIAR, the edge slightly flattened at 11 o'clock and 1 o'clock EF/EF the fields with a prooflike quality, this Pistrucci designed reverse a one-year type which was quickly withdrawn due to it's similarity to the Sixpence reverse. An excessively rare date justifiably rated at R5 by Marsh
Half Sovereign 1821 ProofS.3802 UNC retaining much original mint brilliance and touches of red toning in places, the obverse with some light tooling in the field between the King's forehead and D:G:, a true rarity and one-year type design. The reverse by Pistrucci is considered to be one of the classic and most beautiful 19th Century designs.

Our archive database shows that we have only offered one previous example, this was in November 2003. This type missing from many advanced Half Sovereign collections, one of a number of high grade and George IV gold pieces in this sale
